Series DS In-Line Flow Sensors

Use with the Dwyer® Differential Pressure Gages or Transmitters

The SERIES DS In-Line Flow Sensors are two Series of averaging Pitot tubes for
compatible gases and liquids that provide accurate and convenient flow rate sensing,
for schedule 40 pipe, when purchased with suitable differential pressure gage with
appropriate range.

The Series DS-300 Averaging Flow Sensors are designed to be inserted in the pipeline
through a compression fitting and available for pipe sizes from 1 to 10" (2.5 to 25.4
cm). Accessories include adapters with 1/4" SAE 45° flared ends compatible with
hoses supplied with the Model A-471 Portable Capsuhelic® Gage Kit.

The Series DS-400 Averaging Flow Sensors are designed for insertion lengths up
to 24" (61 cm) and include a pair of 1/8" NPT x 1/4" SAE 45° flared adapters which
are compatible with hoses used in the Model A-471 Portable Capsuhelic® Gage Kit.
The supplied solid brass mounting adapter has a 3/4" dia. compression fitting to lock
in required insertion length and a 3/4" male NPT thread for mounting in a threaded
branch connection (not included).

I have a question about the Series 160 Pitot tube.
I am wondering whether you can use this as a water flow measurement instead of air flow measurement.
Best,
Thanks

Answer

Our Series 160 pitot tube is specifically designed to monitor or control air velocity or air flow and not water flow. Our Series DS in-line flow sensors can be used for flow rate sensing of compatible gases and liquids for schedule 40 pipe.
